Morning glory

I have an amazing view of the sunrise - right from my east-facing front porch. Though I see it every day, I'm still awe struck by the beauty.

Frosty Monday:

Crispy grass after my bike ride to work:

Twofer Tuesday

Today was double-run day... again!

It was COLD this morning when Brad, Sarah and I hit the pavement. But look at that payoff:

 

We sat out in the driveway to stretch so we could watch the sky show!

After work, I had the privilege of joining Julie for a birthday run!

She didn't have a lot of time before meeting her fam for a birthday dinner, but we squeezed in 2.5 miles. And the weather was fabulous! A perfect fall afternoon.

Happy birthday, new running buddy :)

I tried out my new Newtons, purchased at deep, DEEP discount at the Portland Marathon expo ($42 for almost-brand-new running shoes!).

They felt pretty good, though we were chatting the whole time, so I wasn't paying much attention to my stride. I'll take note next time :)

Clear, cold skies

I started my Friday with a cold bike ride and this:

Nice :)

Eryn is nursing a stress fracture and came over Wednesday to try out our elliptical. I ran on the 'mill while we watched Jon Stewart:

Thursday, an after-work meeting prompted a lunch-time workout. I hit the stadium for 25 minutes, then showered at work. It worked out well, especially this view:

It was cold out there. Frozen puddle on the way!

It took about 15 minutes before I warmed up!

Go Tigers!

Last night, my Tigard Tigers crushed the North Medford Black Tornado to advance to the 6A football semifinals! I wore all my warm clothes and bundled up in a down sleeping bag to battle the cold wind.

Tigard remains undefeated and seems unstoppable! Some people think this is our year :)

It was the last home game for our seniors (pictured), as the remaining playoff games will be held downtown at Jeld-Wen Field.

GO TIGERS!!! :)

Friday!

Oh, yeah!
